TN: Mamre Brook Cabernet Sauvignon 2001

Post by The more the better »

Slightly dusty initally with a greenish nose which blew off quickly. The wine was dark and clingy to the glass and develpoed full caberenet aromas with little air time. Dark moccha, leather and velvet finish proved to be a nice surprise after some bad press.

I am glad I still have about 8 bottles left as it is drinking very well at the moment with probably another 2-4 years before it heads south. 17.2/20

Good with veal scallopini :D

The 2001 is a good wine, my negative comments were in relation to the 2003.
Cheers

I agree on the 2003 with you Ric.

I was not refering to your comments but rather to a number of responses from others claiming the 2001 was not up to scratch in comparison to the 2002.
